At lower temperatures the emissions can also include volatile organic compounds, relatively high levels of CO (a product of incomplete combustion), and more particulate concerns. Higher temperatures encourage complete combustion and result in cleaner emissions (up to 1300 celsius). The composition and quantity of the emissions is dependent on the combustion temperature. Other regulated elements and compounds, such as mercury and hydrochloric acid are measurable in the emissions but at levels much below accepted maximums. The emissions of most concern are carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxides (SOx), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). When wood is burned, the combustion reaction produces heat and emissions in the form of water, organic vapors, gases, and particulates.
